Progress!

King Charles won’t stand in the way if ‘Australia wants to become a republic’

Charles said to be adopting ‘anti-confrontational approach’ to republican campaigners before visit

It would take a referendum here, and I dont think it would pass.

Sadly.

They had one 25 years ago and it wasn't in favour of a Republic.

And here's yet another example of one rule for the royals and another for the subjects, even the ones elected to be the government.

The scale of their gifts received is incredible compared to the current leaders of the UK's govt. Will this be followed up by others in the msm? Will it ****

King Charles and royals fail to reveal official gifts for past four years – despite promise to do so

Royal family had pledged to declare all presents received in an annual list, after several controversies

I wonder if they ever put their unwanted ones on eBay?

Haha. It would not surprise me if one of their office staff did this as they must receive some right junk from the wills of their subjects let alone random worshippers. It won't just be Saudi royals donating expensive jewellery and art to their cause. LOL.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Haha again. Aussie state leaders don't want to meet and greet him.

‘A monumental insult’: Aussie state leaders snub King Charles visit

It’s a “slap in the face,” a monarchist group’s spokesperson said.

'though in practice the sovereign’s position is purely symbolic, with no role in Australian day-to-day governance'

Yeah right, they used to use the same phrase in the UK.

Revealed: the property empires that make Charles and William millions

Not a good look

 

[Templeton Peck]

Get rid.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Get rid.

Sooner the better but I am prepared to wait. Been openly protesting since I refused to stand for the so-called national anthem when ten years old at a schoolboys' international at Wembley. LOL.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Just read the following report on EU CAP subsidies for the rich. No mention of our inglorious royal family and I find that highly suspicious bearing in mind that King Charles has been reported as being the World's biggest landowner (6,600,000,000 acres), and that the Crown Estate is the third biggest landowner in the UK (678 000 acres).

Even our apparently illustrious 'investor' Guangchang Guo is listed in the report!

Revealed: billionaires are ‘ultimate beneficiaries’ linked to €3bn of EU farming subsidies

Thousands of small farms have closed according to analysis of official but opaque data from EU member states

After yesterday's front page of the papers take over, I'd imagine we'll be seeing less of Adil Ray in the mornings

Prince Andrew seemingly with links to a Chinese spy

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I doubt he has actually been engaged in espionage as that takes brains and if his were dynamite they wouldn't raise his eyebrows.

Another clear example of him being a) stupid, b) self-centred, c) ill-advised, and d) vulnerable to exploitation by espionage as he is desperate after all the other messes he has managed to get into.

 

[Tony Towner]

Interesting moral compass within the Royal household. Hang around with a nonce even after his conviction, come to Xmas dinner, hang around with a spy, you aren't invited.

He’s a useful idiot though, spy agencies love those sorts of people, has connections, well off so they don’t cost too much, makes them feel really important, the other two springing to mind are trump and farage

 

[leedswolf]

Prince Andrew's controversial friendship with an alleged Chinese spy continues to cause embarrassment. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Chinese government said he's not sure they'll ever get over the shame

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Makes me wonder at times what they are doing at MI5 and MI6.
Having worked around the world a bit, I simply cannot believe that so-called influential 'leaders' like Prince Andrew and Boris Johnson have not received advice, training and support. YET, they still get exposed by foreign competitor agents trying to get access to any potentially useful information from decision making circles in the UK.
